Re: Sigrgardr 16B / Knee Deep

Although Zoega lists <kné> as m(asculine), I think this must be a misprint, because Cleasby/Vigfusson lists it as n(euter), and Gordon (An Introduction to Old Norse) uses it as a paradigm for a stong declension a-stem neuter noun, giving <kné> as the accusative plural form.

And fell to her knee before him and placed herself in his
power, and all her authority and land.

<Kné> is masculine, so <kné> here can only be accusative
singular.
